United Way fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. We know the work of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is unique to every
United Way community around the world. Below is Heart of KY United Way’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement of Principle which outlines our commitment to building sustainable, inclusive, and resilient organizations and communities. DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE. We take the broadest possible view of diversity. We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are. We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and progress our fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, advocate, and employee must have equal access to solving community problems. We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. We recognize structural racism/ethnic discrimination and other forms of oppression have contributed to persistent disparities which United Way seeks to dismantle. We understand that these disparities have existed in the past and persist into the present.
